About the service

Car Recovery: how we handle it

Recovery is the difficult end of vehicle transport. The car has been in an accident, has sunk into soft sand, sits in a basement too low for a normal flatbed, or will not roll because a wheel is damaged or the gearbox is locked in park. Getting it out without adding damage takes the right truck and equipment.

Tell us exactly what happened and send photos. That decides what is sent: a flatbed with a winch, a low-clearance recovery vehicle for basements, wheel skates for locked wheels or a 4x4 for sand. The pickup happens where the car is, and it is delivered to the garage, home or yard you choose.

Three ways to deal with a dead battery, compared

A roadside battery specialist is not the only option. Here is how it stacks up against a tow to a workshop or a borrowed set of jump leads.

Car died at a petrol station off Sheikh Zayed Road. I sent the pin and said which side of the road I was on. The technician tested the battery first, showed me the reading, then swapped it. Card payment on the spot.

James W.Dubai Marina

5 / 5

Basement P3 in the Marina, low ceiling, no chance for a tow truck. He came down with a booster and a tester. Turned out the battery only needed a jump, so that is all he did. Honest.

Aarav S.Al Quoz

Needed an AGM for a start-stop car. They asked for a photo of the old battery label before coming, so the right one was in the van. Registered it to the car as well.

Maria D.Jumeirah Village Circle

Evening traffic made it later than the first estimate, but they messaged to say so. The fitting itself was quick and he checked the charging voltage before leaving.

Muhammad R.Mussafah

5 / 5

Pickup would not crank at the yard. Battery tested fine, the terminal was loose and corroded. He cleaned and tightened it and did not try to sell me a battery.

Sarah M.Dubai Hills Estate

Paid with Tabby, which helped that week. Old battery was taken away, the new one came with the warranty card filled in. Would call them again.

السيارة ما اشتغلت الصبح في موقف البناية. أرسلت الموقع ورقم الطابق على الواتساب، والفني فحص البطارية قبل ما يبدلها وشرح لي النتيجة. شغل مرتب.

رجعت من السفر والسيارة واقفة شهر كامل. الفني جاء للبيت، اشترك البطارية وفحصها، وقال إنها تحتاج تبديل وأعطاني ورقة الضمان. تعامل محترم.

اتصلت الساعة 2 الفجر والرد كان سريع. عطوني وقت تقريبي للوصول قبل ما يتحرك الفني، وبدل البطارية في الشارع قدام البيت. شكراً لكم.

Questions

Car Recovery: questions and answers

Short answers to what drivers ask before and during a battery call-out.

How is recovery different from towing?

Towing is planned transport of a car that can roll and be loaded normally. Recovery deals with cars that cannot: crashed, stuck, locked or in a place a standard truck cannot reach. It needs extra equipment such as winches, skates and low-clearance vehicles, and usually more time on site.

Can you recover a car from basement parking?

Yes, in most cases. Tell us the height limit at the entrance and the parking level. A full-size flatbed often cannot enter, so a low-clearance vehicle or wheel skates bring the car up to street level, where it is loaded onto the flatbed.

My car is stuck in sand. What should I do?

Stop accelerating, because spinning wheels dig the car in deeper. Clear sand from in front of the tyres and lower the tyre pressure if you can re-inflate later. If it still will not move, send your location pin and photos and wait with the car.

Do I need a police report before recovery?

For an accident, yes. Report it to the police first and keep the report, since garages and insurance companies ask for it before repairing the car. For a breakdown, a car stuck in sand or one that simply will not start, no report is needed.
